Mr Wilson operated on my back 4 times at R.O.N.Hate Stanmore ,after my 4thh operation I went to see him for the result with my wife at the consultation there were 3 medical students in the room. Mr Wilson said to me ''peter I am sorry that the 4th operation has not been a susses and I want to operate on your back again .But first I will have to apply for the money to do it from ''THOSE JOKERS IN N010 '' for the money and I do not expect they will give it to me, he then turned to his 3 medical students and said ''This is what is coming to you three very soon '' We were all shocked at what he had just said. Soon after this consultation he left Stanmore Orthopedic hospital. I then seemed to get lost in there system and when they found me again I was referred d to other surgeons. I always found Mr Wilson to be a very nice kind person to me and I felt safe in his hands .Other surgeons have said things like why do you not just live with the pain and I believe the letters that I have received from the hospital supposed to be from Mr Wilson were never signed by him .It seems to us that there are NON MEDICAL people there that decide who gets treated and who does not. I have been referred to other N H S hospital by my GP and then been told I cannot go to see them on another time I receiver two letters posted on the same day the first one gave me a date to be seen I opened the second one and it said ''Due to unforced circumstances you appointment has been cancelled '' All this happened after the government privatized the appointment system to private company's

For the past 11 years, I had been battling severe degenerative disc disease, which had sadly deteriorated to such an extent, that I had been living with chronic, agonising and never ending sciatic pain in my lower back, which would then spread into both my legs. This resulted in me suffering with constant numbness and pins and needles. Over the years, the weakness in my legs had increased. Quite often, I have had to rely on my crutches to get around. I had been under the care of an NHS hospital, but after a while, as my condition was chronic and degenerative, the doctors felt that there was nothing more that they could do for me. This resulted in me suffering 3 episodes of temporary paralysis over the last 2 years. After doing some research on the internet, I found Mr Lester Wilson. After reading that he specialises in treating conditions of the lumbar spine, I decided to book an appointment to meet with him to discuss my condition, to see if he could help me in any way. During my first consultation with me, he thoroughly reviewed all my scans and MRI's and x-rays that I had previously undergone at an NHS hospital. He had gotten them all transferred over to the private hospital that I had come to for my appointment. After reviewing all the scans, he showed me the scans. Mr wilson also took time to help me understand how the spine works and showed me how my spine is different to everyone else's. He was very patient with me. A thorough examination of my lumbar spine and legs was carried out, to see how much my spinal conditioned deteriorated. He then discussed all the possible treatment options that were appropriate for me. I had two more follow up appointments with mr Wilson, as he had asked me to go away and think about the surgical options that we had discussed during my first follow up appointment. Mr Wilson knew how anxious I had become about agreeing to undergo surgery. He very reassuringly explained that I was very much in need of a double level decompression and fusion of the L4-l5, l5-S1 region of my lumbar spine. Mr Wilson took the time to talk me through the surgery that would be undergoing. I was also given all the information that I would need with regards to the pre-assessments that would be carried out a few weeks before my admission to The Wellington Hospital. Mr Wilson's secretary kept in touch with me and ensured that i was always kept in the loop with everything that was happening and with regard to all my appointments that I had with him, to confirm the timings and dates of all my appointments with him. This included ensuring that I had all the appropriate information with regards to my pre-op assessment and to how my pre-assessments would be carried out. All my pre-op checks were carried out a week before my surgery over the phone in January, while London was still in lockdown due to the pandemic. I was admitted to the Wellington Hospital on the 26th of january 2021 for my surgery. Post surgery I have been pain free and can now look forward to being pain free for as long as possible. Overall, i think that Mr wilson is a terrific consultant. He works with a wonderful team who are also very good at communicating with patients. Mr wilson is a very understanding doctor. He is very good at explaining things to his patients, even if he has to repeat himself a few times. He spends time talking to patients with regard to their specific situation and allows them to ask any questions or queries they may have with regard to any treatment options that may be available to them. He is very reassuring, he is easy to talk to and he is able to put his patients at ease. I was very anxious during my admission, but Mr Wilson came to see me on the day of my surgery, to ensure that I was happy with eveything that would be happening during my surgery. He reassured me that I would be in great hands and that he would personally be overseeing all my care. He came to check in on me a few times post-op, as he wanted to ensure that I was receiving the best care possible. I am and will always be very very grateful for everything Mr Wilson has done for me. He has not only saved my lumbar spine, but he has also given me back my legs and my life. I would highly recommend Mr Wilson to anyone who suffers with lower back conditions.

I have been under the care of Mr Wilson for just over 2 years after see multiple back and pain consultants. Within weeks of seeing Mr Wilson I was told that my pain was coming from my L5/S1 of which I have now had fused and though not completely pain free I am now much more capable of dealing with the day to day chores and childcare.

Mr Wilson was recommended by a friend as he had cured her horrendous lower back pain with a fusion and she was back with 100% mobility after the recovery. I had horrendous back pain, saw 2 different consultant surgeons, neither diagnosed the problem until I saw Mr Wilson at The Wellington Hospital Spinal Unit. He was amazing and almost immediately diagnosed the problem as a broken bone in my back which had been misdiagnosed 2 years earlier resulting in natural Fusion incorrectly. Mr Wilson listened attentively, sent me for an immediate CT scan (something the other consultants did not do) and immediately same day showed me and explained the results followed by recommendations. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone with severe lower back pain.

Lester Wilson Operated on me in 2012, for fusion of L4/5 discs, recovery period given to me was 18 months to 2 years. I was told that if could work or may not work, 5 years later I am able to do lot more things then prior to surgery. I Found Mr. Wilson very attentive on my initial consultation and every visit thereafter, I was very lucky to have found him after really bad experiences with two other surgeons, whose names I will not mention, I found them to be very rude and telling my husband that 'I was imagining the pain I had.' So I am eternally grateful to Mr. Wilson, for making me better and regaining my confidence in specialist.
